My first impression is that the Bus above is overpriced by about 5x the value.

I think it's the unspoken assumption that Kirt Cobain may have ridden in it...

Anyone can say so and so owned it or so and so may have ridden in it and jack the price up. Who the hell cares? :roll:

Eureka! We've found the inspiration for these famous lyrics:

"With the lights out, it's less dangerous."

I think with a little shrine set up for Kurt Cobain it might be worth more.

That guy should put a bag of drugs next to a shotgun with a photo of the late Cobain and post this shit up for double!

From the ad: "needs a wheel cylinder (easy fix), and a tune-up. Also will need a drivers side windshield".

So at a $20k asking price... FIX THE FK"N PROBLEMS. :roll:
Also, as stated above, who give a shit who (supposedly) owned it in '94. I don't care if it comes with the mummified remains of Cobain, Elvis, Michael Jerkson, AND Hoffa... it's not a $20k bus. :?

Totally agree...I have sold vehicles in all conditions, and I even cleaned up the non-running POS ones a bit, just because I felt like I should. I always wonder how anyone advertises any car for sale at an above-rock-bottom price when it needs ANY simple repair(s).

I can't seem to find a set of cab doors for my single cab (57). It has the wrong doors on it and it drives me nuts. I'm hoping the is the right place to whine about it ;-)

I'm not even sure it's whine worthy because I would have no idea if thats a good price or not- but it's definitely funny how Nate set that shit up for the photo shoot.

He should've spread that shit out to the proper wheel base. Nobody is going to pay $1900 for an imaginary "shorty" bus.

wrong, it sold for that

The Gerson special. Add $10K in a parts bus and gerson metal and you too can own a $200K w/t deluxe! :wink:

Love the "original" side window behind the driver's door. That's gotta add value.

51K...is the box seating original?[/img]

Sat Jul 02, 2011 2:09 pm

The dash is in upside down, wrong wheel. Nice fuse box placement.

The ad states that the front seat is there. Should there be a pic of it? sure...but. 51K for a restored(?) 53 barndoor...mmm...maybe not whine worthy. I do however think it should have the middle? and rear seats for that price and a few other items included or corrected. Hey...that's what negotiating is all about.
